Did you know that the shamrock is one of the symbols of Ireland? 

Do you know other Irish symbols?

If you want to know more about Ireland, Nikol (2nB) found this great web page with everything you need to know about "Fantasy Ireland"

(Take a look at the section of "Symbols")

Thanks Nikol.

See you soon

DirectGov Kids

Dear ESO students, 

This is a very interesting and useful website on many different topics related to education, health, citizenship, etc. It's highly visual and it's full of games, animations, activities, etc. It's for children from 5 to 11 but I think it's great so why don't have a look.
